Two wooden boards propped up by brackets are affixed with five handwritten lists. The large board on the left has four shorter lists pasted on it, while the one on the right has only one long list. Without a doubt, this must be the list of four groups of offensive and defensive cadets and that group of support academies.

Seeing that the "fierce god" did not react, the students began to discuss, and also began to look for their names on the list.

Ye Hengyuan took two steps forward and found that his name was in the middle of the list on the far left.

"There are thirty-two combat trainees in total," the "fierce god" spoke again, "There are four groups in total. From left to right, they are 1, 2, 3 and 4 groups. Eight people per group. Matches are played in a round-robin format. The winner of each group with the most wins will become the champion of the group and receive a reward from the dean. ”

"Director Chai, what's the reward?" asked a bold male student who raised his hand.

The "fierce god" glared at him, and exhaled, revealing his large, strong teeth.

"I don't know about that. When the time comes, the dean will personally give you the reward. Tomorrow morning, after the morning run, all of them will gather in the * training area on time. Once everyone has arrived, the draw will start according to the group. Latecomers will be penalized for 20 laps. Did you hear me clearly?"

"Hear me clearly!" all the students' voices became extremely loud. Each of them has seen how terrible the punishment is after being caught late by this "fierce god". There was once a student who was punished for running 30 laps under the greatest pressure, and as soon as he finished running, he fell down directly tired, and he couldn't get up for nearly half an hour. You must know that the spiritual power level of the "Fierce God" is a fifth-order fifth-level, a standard middle-level and high-level spiritual master. When he usually supervised the students' morning runs, he never released more than half of the pressure and gravity, and he never really used the power of martial spirits.

"Alright, disband!" The "fierce god" waved his hand, "Go ahead to your class! Tomorrow all your classes will be suspended! There will be seven battles in total, three in the morning and four in the afternoon! Rest well tonight! Don't stay up late!"

The cadets quickly dispersed. The "fierce god" also walked with several other instructors. Ye Hengyuan didn't leave immediately, as if he was thinking about something.

"Brother Hengyuan. The sweet voice sounded again.

"Huh?" Ye Hengyuan turned around and looked at the grinning Xue Mengyi, "Xiao...... Aren't you leaving?"

"I only have classes in the evening. What about you?"

"Ah......" Ye Hengyuan scratched his head, "I...... Me too......"

"Brother Hengyuan, how many groups have you been divided into? I have been divided into four groups. Most of them are the same type as me. ”

"Well," Ye Hengyuan nodded mechanically, "I'm in a group." Most of the people in my group were people I didn't know. ”

"Let's find a place to sit, shall we?" Xue Mengyi shook her head slightly, and the two tails of the two ponies swayed in the wind, "How about going to the small pavilion?"

"Ah...... It's ......" Ye Hengyuan's face turned slightly red again, but it was not very red.

Ye Hengyuan and Xue Mengyi walked together in the direction of Xiaohu. In mid-air, the figures of Qiu Bai and Hou Renze appeared.

"This kid is so shy," Hou Renze smiled, "it's about the same as when I was younger." ”

"Really?" Huber rolled his eyes, "I don't see it. ”

"Heh," Hou Renze smiled faintly, "In this regard, we can't teach him anything." It's on his own. ”

"yes. Hopefully this doesn't become a weakness in his character. It's good that you can watch it now, and he won't have any problems," Huber turned.

"I'm going to go back there first. There's something going on over there. ”

"What?" Hou Renze frowned, "There is a problem on the border again, isn't there a temporary truce?"

"It's not. It's something that has to be dealt with. When that's done, I'll come back and point him out. ”

"You, Master, are easy enough. Hou Renze seemed to be in a good mood and teased.

"Do you think I'm willing to do this?" the corners of Qiu Bai's mouth also went up, "Aren't you the same?" I was shocked when I heard that loud voice. ”

"That's his character. I told him too, it didn't work. As you know, he's usually good to his students. ”

"Yes. It's a pity that the core of the earth didn't choose him at the beginning. If you choose, maybe it's a good thing. I'm leaving. ”

With a whoosh, Huber was gone.

There are not many people by the small lake, and there are only a few water attribute students practicing by the lake or in the lake. Xue Mengyi jumped up onto the small bridge and walked towards the Huxin Pavilion. Ye Hengyuan followed.

There was no one in the Pavilion in the middle of the lake. Xue Mengyi walked in quickly, stood next to the railing of the small pavilion, bent down to pick up a pebble on the ground, and gently raised her hand. The pebbles swirled and flew out, smashing into the water with a "poof", rippling round and round.

"You shouldn't use this kind of stone, right?" Ye Hengyuan asked, "Don't you all use that kind of long, thin tile-like stone?"

"Just throw it around. Xue Mengyi stuck out her tongue and sat down on the stone bench on the west side. Ye Hengyuan also sat down, but his movements were very unnatural.

"Brother Hengyuan," Xue Mengyi lay on the spotless jade table, rested her little head on her arm, stared at Ye Hengyuan's face with a pair of big eyes, "Why are you always nervous?"

"Huh?" Ye Hengyuan turned his face back, "Yes...... I didn't...... No......"

"Are you worried about tomorrow's assessment?"

"Hmm......" Ye Hengyuan scratched his head, "A little." After all, everyone here is amazing. If you don't play well, you might lose ugly......"

"It's nothing," Xue Mengyi smiled and waved her hand, "I don't think this should be a problem for you." ”

"Oh?" Ye Hengyuan raised his head, "Why?"

"Because," Xue Mengyi gently moved in the direction of Ye Hengyuan, narrowing the distance between her and him, "I've seen you practice halberd." ”

"Huh?" Ye Hengyuan was surprised, "When did you see it?"

"It was two nights ago. I happened to have a class that night. After class, I saw you practicing your halberd on the field alone. ”

"Oh," Ye Hengyuan patted his head, "No...... No, I just couldn't sleep that day. ”

"I know," Xue Mengyi nodded, "but the way you practice is really good-looking." You're practicing very seriously. ”

"Seriously, yes?"

"Of course there is. Growing up, I really haven't seen anyone as serious about practicing as you are. You have such a good talent, and you work so hard?"

"Am I very talented?" Ye Hengyuan suddenly became alert, pretending to be confused. He was afraid that the girl in front of him would see through his identity as a disciple of the spirit general.

"Of course!" Xue Mengyi said, "The Dragon Pattern Fang Heavenly Halberd is one of the best martial spirits recorded in the official Martial Spirit Atlas of the Cangling Kingdom!

"Your family?"

"Uh......" Xue Mengyi realized what she had said, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and her face flushed slightly, "This is ...... What's this...... I'll tell you another day. ”

"Oh. Ye Hengyuan nodded.

"Oh, that's right," Xue Mengyi suddenly stood up from the stone bench, "Brother Hengyuan, you haven't really seen my martial spirit, right? I can show it to you now." ”

"Really? Ye Hengyuan also stood up, and the expression on his face relaxed a lot.

"Hum—" A small mosquito-like sound sounded. A golden halo was released from Xue Mengyi's body. Subsequently, seven shimmering clusters of light emerged from the halo.

After a few seconds, the glow faded. And the seven clusters of light also revealed their true colors.

Those were seven sparkling diamond-shaped gemstones, exactly the same in size and shape. Each gemstone is double-layered, with a dazzling gold exterior and a different color from left to right in the center and inner layer, from left to right, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. One after the other, they shimmered with two-colored light, dazzling like meteors in the night sky.

"Wow......" Ye Hengyuan sighed involuntarily.

"This is called the Colorful Bright Light Stone, and it is a kind of treasure-type martial spirit," Xue Mengyi said with a smile, "What I am going to cultivate is a long-range energy attack." ”

"Oh......" Ye Hengyuan looked a little stunned. Growing up, he had never seen any gems, not even the most ordinary.

"Brother Hengyuan, come on. Let's work together to win our respective groups, shall we?"

"Hmm...... Okay, okay!" Ye Hengyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and clenched his fists.

The next day.

The thirty-two freshmen who participated in the actual combat assessment were divided into four columns and stood in front of the four large wooden cards. The four wooden plaques are all the same size, with "One", "Two", "Three", and "Four" written on them.

Hou Renze stood on the high platform and looked at the four rows of freshmen in front of him. His expression was very serious, completely different from the expression he had when he talked to Ye Hengyuan alone that day. "Fierce God" Chai Ding stood on his left side, his hands clasped in front of his chest, and his eyes looked at the sky. In front of each cadet stood an instructor, as well as two staff members.

Behind them, there was one ring after another. Sixteen small rings, to be exact. Each of the four seats is divided into an area. The four areas are also distinguished by signs labeled "One", "Two", "Three", and "Four". Each ring is twenty meters long, ten meters wide, and two meters high. All are made of fine granite and mud, and some key parts are reinforced with steel. Enough to withstand the full force of any spirit master below the fourth order
